The Father and the Bride

****

Nicely caught. There is a lot to look at and many stories going on in this photo; nonetheless, it is not cluttered.

 

An ISO 3200 film seems unusual to use at a wedding; were you the main photographer, or just a casual one?

I was the main photographer on that day....the first wedding(and only wedding) I've ever done. I'm not sure if I'll do it again. I guess if I was asked, maybe. It was pretty stressful. The bride had asked for some artsy, grainy shots of the ceremony....I had never used this film before. I really liked it, but probably won't use it a whole lot.

I hear ya about shooting weddings... very stressful, and so much pressure to get the right shot. I probably will never shoot a wedding again (for pay) anyways... I'd rather get drunk. HA!

I was conned into shooting a wedding on New Year's Eve this year!! It was the most stressful thing I've done, especially since I was told that someone else was the "main" photographer and I would just be shooting candids. The "main" photographer was the brother-in-law and his camera broke a few years before, so he came with a disposable camera. When I saw that most people had little single-lens digital cameras or disposables, I panicked a wee bit and ended up taking hundreds of shots because I was afraid they wouldn't have enough decent images. It all worked out, but I will never be a wedding photographer!!!

 

This shot is very moody, Chris - I bet they really liked it.
